What happened. NVIDIA says European organisations are using its Earth-2 family of open AI weather models, which developers can customise with their own data. The tools run on NVIDIA computing and cover global forecasts, regional forecasts and environmental research.

What happened. At GTC Berlin, NVIDIA showed European banks, payment firms and data providers running open-weight AI on hardware they control. Revolut is moving its tech stack onto a single in-house model called PRAGMA, on NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra chips, serving an initial 80 million customers with room to grow 3x.

What happened. Salesforce was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Commerce for the 11th year running. It was placed furthest right on Completeness of Vision.

What happened. AWS published a framework called AAIF, built on Strands Agents, that sends each AI agent request to a suitable model instead of one large cloud model. Simple queries can resolve locally, avoiding a network round-trip.

What happened. AWS's Machine Learning Blog describes five obstacles teams hit when moving multi-agent AI systems from pilot to production, such as agents skipping validation steps, ignoring business logic and missing edge cases. It presents the Deep Insight system as its answer to them.

That's the whole issue.
